Chapter 434: Chapter 434: 3000 Great Paths, Enlightenment Stone Pillar

Formation Sect, Enlightenment Stone Forest.

In the most secluded area of the Formation Sect lay a patch of stone pillars known as the Enlightenment Stone Forest.

Countless pillars stood arranged in a peculiar fashion throughout this place.

The Enlightenment Stone Forest was where the ancestors of the Formation Sect had infused their lifelong learning and insights into these pillars for the younger disciples to comprehend.

There are said to be three thousand Great Dao in the universe and even more lesser paths amounting to ninety thousand.

While these pillars could not cover them all, they did contain the Great Dao and lesser paths imparted by the Formation Sect’s ancestors.

This place was of utmost importance to the Formation Sect. Normally, Formation Sect disciples were not allowed to enter unless they had made significant contributions and spent contribution points for access.

At this moment, among the disciples attending the Formation Sect’s recruitment assembly, only twelve thousand remained. These martial artists originally had no right to enter the Enlightenment Stone Forest.

However, the fourth round of the recruitment assembly required these martial artists to enter the Enlightenment Stone Forest and comprehend the Great Dao, hence, they received this free opportunity.

Having reached the Enlightenment Stone Forest, many martial artists sensed the Great Dao embodied in the pillars. However, as they had not yet calmed their minds to comprehend, they were unable to grasp the Dao.

But with the Great Dao within sight, everyone was naturally filled with immense excitement.

Some pillars in the Stone Forest were engraved with names. Those who had comprehended the Three Thousand Great Dao and had mastered its essence could leave their marks on the pillars.

Disciples who left their marks on the Enlightenment Stone Pillars all invariably became strong individuals.

Over the tens of thousands of years of the Formation Sect’s history, only a few hundred individuals had ever left marks on the Enlightenment Stone Pillars. These disciples were all considered Heavenly Prides, with only a few among the present crowd capable of comparing to them.

Following their arrival at the Enlightenment Stone Forest, individuals like Tang Yuntian were filled with anticipation, wondering if any of the current disciples could leave their marks there.

People like Tang Yuntian naturally had high hopes for Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng, among a few others who had reached the highest levels of the Trial Tower.

The Dao of the Stone Forest, though not encompassing all Dao, nearly included all attributes of the Great Dao in the universe.

Within the Great Dao, the Power of the Five Elements was contained.

In addition, it possessed forces of wind, lightning, ice, space, and various other special attributes.

Ordinary martial artists generally mastered one of the Five Elements’ forces, and their affinity determined their relative strength and weakness.

After receiving Tang Yuntian’s permission, everyone immediately entered the Enlightenment Stone Forest and chose their respective spots to sit and comprehend.

People were not foolish; they understood that the Dao had attributes, and they sought to comprehend near the attributes they practiced.

For example, Xia Wanxin found a pillar embellished with the pattern of a Fire Dragon to sit beside.

"This is the Scarlet Flame True Dragon. I never imagined that the Formation Sect would possess such a formidable Dao. If I can comprehend its essence, it will be of tremendous help to my cultivation," Xia Wanxin joyfully observed the Fire Dragon pillar and promptly sat down to study it.

Deng Yu also found a pillar that shone with a golden light. From what he had observed earlier, this particular pillar’s golden glow was the brightest, indicating that the Metal Property Dao it contained must be extraordinary.

Qin Kaifeng, the Purple-robed Maiden, the Bald Monk, and others hurriedly found their own spots as well.

"Qiu Ya, go there," Lin Chen said, noticing Qiu Ya’s bewildered expression, he released his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, then pointed to a secluded pillar and instructed Qiu Ya.

Other martial artists were vying for the best spots to comprehend the Dao, and the location Lin Chen had chosen was one that several people had passed by and then walked away from, paying it no heed, indicating it was not desirable.

Yet Lin Chen had directed Qiu Ya to that specific spot.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin Chen," Qiu Ya didn’t overthink it and trusted Lin Chen immediately.

She had no defenses against Lin Chen and felt that he would never deceive her.

Arriving at the unremarkable pillar, Qiu Ya released her Divine Soul to probe it, her expression instantly transforming.

"The Way of the Wandering Dragon!" she mentally exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand in shock, almost letting out an audible gasp.

The so-called Wandering Dragon was a powerful True Dragon in the world that, unlike other dragons, had no physical body; it was a Soul Body. However, its strength surpassed many other True Dragons because it excelled at Divine Soul attacks.

Because the Wandering Dragon was a soul state and adept at concealing its presence, that’s why the pillar appeared so inconspicuous.

Yet, in Qiu Ya’s eyes, this pillar was the most crucial one in the entire plaza. If she could comprehend its Dao, it would greatly benefit her Divine Soul.

This was a treasure that Formation Masters, Alchemists, and Artifact Refiners dreamed of.

Qiu Ya didn’t make a fuss and quietly sat down cross-legged. Others seeing Qiu Ya choosing such an Enlightenment Stone Pillar assumed she was weak and didn’t want to contend with other martial artists for better pillars.

Fist Technique, Swordsmanship; many martial artists were eager to claim these pillars since these were the most commonly practiced Cultivation Techniques among martial artists.

It was first-come, first-served, and those who didn’t secure the best spot had to settle for sitting at a distance. Tang Yuntian had previously stated that it was forbidden to fight over spots, as doing so would result in being expelled from the Enlightenment Stone Forest and losing eligibility for the assembly.

As everyone searched for various pillars, Lin Chen did not remain idle. However, he did not need to check each pillar with his eyes; a sweep of his Divine Sense was enough to know what Dao and strength were contained within each Enlightenment Stone Pillar.

Therefore, Lin Chen could precisely identify the pillar that Qiu Ya needed.

For Lin Chen, his Divine Soul was already strong enough, so he didn’t need to acquire Dao that would help with his Divine Soul.

Furthermore, his Swordsmanship and Fist Technique were already at Great Success, and while his Archery Technique was slightly inferior, with the help of his Divine Soul for aiming, it was barely adequate.

In the end, Lin Chen chose a pillar containing the Wind Attribute.

As martial artists with Wind Attribute Power were rare, no one competed with Lin Chen for it.
